It's Jonas Luster day here at Marc's Voice (Dec 26 2003 06:56 GMT) - First I copied some of Jonas' photos - from the CC party - and did like I do with all the photos I copy - I pasted them into this blog. But apparently I broke the law and the Larrry Lessig police are coming to get me - as I didn't give Jonas credit. He complained in a comment, but I did nothing. |

First Christmas Retrospective (Dec 26 2003 06:54 GMT) - I've always had a healthy cynicism for the holiday season, but this year, it was difficult to keep the giddy to a minimum. Despite the number of years that I've lived in the city, this was the first Christmas in my adult life that I've spent here. I've always thought that New York is the center of the world, and Anil has eloquently explained at least how the city has invented Christmas. While the proof for the former is still to be sorted out, at least we can now say we own all the best parts of Christmas without... |

God Bless Us Everyone... with Some Vitamin D? (Dec 26 2003 06:54 GMT) - Diagnosing Tiny Tim An interesting parlor game among pediatricians is to determine the ailment that afflicted the character Tiny Tim from a Christmas Carol. The most likely suspects include renal tubular acidosis or a vitamin D deficiency due to excessive London industrial smog, both of which result in rickets. (This would explain why Tiny Tim needed a crutch). Given that Tiny Tim's condition was likely curable if Scrooge paid Cratchit more money, this has inspired one right-wing contrarian to argue that Scrooge should have worked a little Malthusian magic by letting Tiny Tim die. |
